Hi all,
It may be that he is just due a growth spurt, but bit concerned my son doesn't seem to be following his height centile.
We'd been measuring him ourselves every month or so and was tracking 75tj centile till 18 months (realise there is a margin of error here in self measuring) but he's now gone down to the 25th centile, and lots of children he was taller than, he's now shorter than they are by a fair bit (husband is 6'3 and I'm 5'5 so thought he should average out circa 50-75th?)
My mum has coeliac disease which has a hereditary element so a little concerned he may have this as that can cause growth issues. Also he still doesn't often have solid poos (though he eAts loads), which I know is another sign but is this normal still? He's got quite skinny legs but big tummy.
I had mentioned it to our (old school) GP, but he dismissed it really that I wouldn't want to put child through tests and it would be impossible getting him to follow a gluten free diet anyway.
Any thoughts or similar experiences, do I just need to wait it out and see how he does?
